Infant Program
Our Infant program is designed to serve children aged 6-weeks to 18-months old. Our infant teachers strive to create an environment that is nurturing, calming and safe for our youngest learners to grow and develop. Children are free to move around the classroom as they explore and discover! Read more about our program below.


Schedules
We understand and acknowledge that our infants are all on their own individualized schedule for what works for them. Upon enrollment, you will be provided with a welcome packet that includes an 'Infant Schedule'. You will be able to provide the schedule that you use at home and our teachers will do their best to adhere to the schedule in their classroom. As our infants become acclimated to their new environment, there is potential that the schedule you provided initially may change. Our teachers will work alongside of every family to alter schedules as needed.
Freedom of Movement
As we know, during the infancy stage of development, our young learners are curious and beginning to identify self awareness. Once discovered, our youngest learners will be on the move. Here at Creative Sprouts, we encourage freedom of movement and provide safe spaces for our infants to move freely throughout the classroom.
Communication
Using our ProCare Communications app, teachers are able to communicate with parents throughout the day. Daily updates on your child's day such as: feedings, diaper changes, mood changes, activities, social interactions with peers and teachers, and much more are documented throughout the day. Parents will receive daily notifications right to their specific device and be able to be involved with their child even from a distance. Teachers always do their best to upload pictures throughout the day to provide comfort to our parents throughout their work day!
Growth & Development
Using the Creative Curriculum, we have designed a program for our infants that allows the teachers to plan and base activities off of the child's age and stage of development. Our infant and toddler classrooms offer an environment that allows the children to hear, touch and see different materials within the room. We have created a nurturing, warm and safe environment that allow each child to learn and develop at their own speed! Even at these young ages, children are developing socially/emotionally, physically and cognitively every day.
Physical Development in Infants
Infants are always on the move, move, move! In our infant classrooms, the teachers focus on large motor skills such as free standing, sitting, pulling themselves up, rolling over, walking, & climbing. Our open floor plan allows infants in both of our classrooms to explore this stage of development safely utilizing many of our different large motor toys and manipulatives!
